About this property

SoMD Cottage 1.5 acres of gorgeous coastal living!

Welcome to our Southern MD beach house. This 3 bedroom and 2 bath home is situated on nearly 1.5 acres of property where you can breathe deep and take in the bay breeze. Whether it is visiting one of the Chesapeake Bay beaches only a 3 minute drive from the home, or watching for wildlife in our yard (it is common to see deer, rabbits, birds, etc), life in Calvert County will slow you down and help you take a much needed break from the daily grind. And you don't even have to cross the Bay Bridge!

The space

**NEW screened in patio added in March 2023!**

Newly renovated, this single level 1,920 square foot home will delight you at every turn. Rooms w/vaulted ceilings, a fun kids' loft space, nautical + airy design. Perfect for romantic getaways, small group retreats, or family trips.

So, why "waffle house"? You'll receive a welcome basket upon arrival which includes goodies like Old Bay chips, bottled water, and you guessed it....waffle mix! We have a Belgian waffle maker for your use during your stay located next to the refrigerator.

Ready for activities? Other than hunting for fossils and sharks' teeth at our beaches, we have many amenities at the house including a volleyball/badminton net, tree swing, hammocks, horseshoes, fire pit, basketball hoop, outdoor and indoor toys, books + board games, an air hockey and mini pool table, and much more. Beach gear (toys, umbrella, sifters, and more) and fishing poles are available for you to borrow on your outings.

Our community boasts 2 private sandy beaches for swimming and beach fun, Lake Lariat for fishing & boating, hiking trails, playgrounds, and campgrounds.

In our area, here are some starting ideas of the many destinations SoMD has to offer about 10-15 minutes away from the house:

Great stay!

We had a blast, cozy house with plenty of room for kiddos to play. No exaggeration, this was the best stocked rental property I’ve ever stayed at—everything we needed seemed to magically appear! Plus, the hosts were great in helping us retrieve items we forgot when we left. 5/5!

Great place to relax

The house was bright, had everything we needed, and was in a quiet, wooded neighborhood close to some hiking trails and beaches. We had delicious seafood delivered and relaxed in the comfortable living room. We would love to come back in the summer sometime and really enjoy the beaches!

Beach House Family Fun

Loved the home and the property. Waffle house was so well stocked and great for our holiday. My sister got married and it was a lovely place for us to rest and relax after all the festivities. Would recommend to anyone and hope to rent again. Thanks Robin for all the fabulous communication. You really are the best.

Best family house EVER

We arrived for a weeklong family vacation with a 4 year old and a just crawling 9 month old, and a dog. The house is immaculately clean, beautifully decorated yet still very family friendly. Every imaginable consideration has been offered by the hosts. I have never stayed in a vacation home where so many items were on hand to make my stay easier and more enjoyable. Beach toys and towels, baby bath accessories, first aid kits, board games, DVD’s, drink straws and even an appreciated Margarita pitcher and glass set. If you are looking for a home for your family to share, this one is a delight!

Superb and quick communication + mini-mart

Communication is the key to a successful vrbo experience and the owner has this virtue in spades. I would hear from Robin within minutes of sending her questions (ex: Discovery map, local seafood vendors, etc). The house is stocked like a mini-mart and was willingly shared. The house is uniquely designed and we made use of all areas (especially enjoyed the vinyl record player in the foyer with playable albums from years past). Even though there are houses easily within eyesight, we never felt like there was a privacy issue. The only item that could be addressed is the carpets in some of the bedrooms could use a deep cleaning or replacement but it didn't adversely affect my stay.
